A Miner Captures Two Elk.

John Short, long-legged miner who
can leap like a kangaroo, lately ran down
a couple of six-pronged bull elk in the
deep snow on Big Creek. 1t was per-
haps the most exciting and remarkable
chase of animals ever known in the
Northern region of the world. He chased
the big graminiverous racers over nine
miles on foot with heavy Sharps rife on
his shoulder and big overcoat on his
arm. He chased them until sheer ex-
haustion compelled them to halt and him
self to lie down painting, throbbing and
perspiring behind juniper tree. After
while he banged away at them, the
sights of his gun bobbing up and down
in obedience to the big throbs of his
pulse. The doomed creatures bowed
their royal horns to the snow, as the erring
shots flew fast from the smoky juniper,
and bleated for mercy. He killed them,
but it took all the cartridges in his belt
and mostly all the breath in his body.

unhappy Short on airth fer a while.

The Lot of Russian Recruit.

A correspondent of the London NeDs
writes from Odessa | had occasion to
day to pass through a suburban park,
where large number of young CON
scripts were being put through the goose
step, The drill master was big man.
He thought nothing of stepping up to
the end of the line and dealing two or
three resounding blows on the faces of
eight or ten of che unfortunate squad.
At the next word of command the re
suit was still unsatisfactory, and the cor
poral expressed his displeasure by attack
ing sickly, consumptive-looking Jewish
recruit, striking him with clepched
fist full in the ribs. The unfortunate lad
doubled up, and was dragged to the
rear, little beyond, where the corporal
of another squad was slowly and delib-
erately dressing the line by savagely
kicking the legs and stamping his iron
shod heel on the toes of the poor re-
cruits. The thud of the blows and kicks
and the groaDs and cries of the less hardy
of the unfortunate youths were horrible

Hard ON the Horse.

"Look at that fellow trying to make

dutch collar" said a Market street
grocer, in an angry tone. "A Dutch
collar 2" repeated our reporter 'Yes
1t is more commonly called the breast
collar, and is, as you see, a broad band
connected with the traces, and supported
by light belt over the neck. Such
collars are for driving and light work;
If the load is too heavy the collar slips
up on the neck and chokes the horse.
For big load there is nothing like the
neck collar. 1t gives the horse plenty Of

better days were especially due TO tho successes oil
